After the garage sale finishes at 1pm today I will be going to my friend Benjamen's wedding where I am a grooms man. (I think that would be the singular of groomsmen again it is 2am) I am very excited for him and his new wife, but not as excited as I am for me and my beloved Heather. (Nice use of beloved right? Maybe I shouldn't blog at 2... 2:30am lol)
So on to the point. Tonight I spoke at new beginnings which is a recovery group our church has for people with destructive behaviors. I gave my testimony (seeing as how I once fit into this category.) Then I shared a scripture that had really impacted me. Hebrews 3:7-15 I will share some of that now,
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. As has just been said:
"Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion."

I was so happy to encourage everyone there that they could and should be encouraging each other. That as long as they have breath it is still "today" and God is still chasing them. I truly love what I get to do weather it be teaching the weekly Bible study at Cenikor, or a special speaking engagement like New Beginnings. I enjoy teaching and encouraging and could not imagine God having me do anything else the rest of my life!
A huge Thank You to everyone who has made this possible!
A bigger Thank You to God who gives us the very breath we breathe.
